The xx Lyrics
Those eyes
Those eyes
Those eyes
Those eyes were sharp like sharpest knives
When I see you when I'm going away
You hold me captive with the things that you do and say
When I see you when I'm going away
You hold me captive with the things that you do and say
Those eyes
Those eyes
Those eyes were sharp like sharpest knives
When I see you when I'm going away
You hold me captive with the things that you do and say
When I see you when I'm going away
You hold me captive with the things that you do and say
And I feel
And I feel
And I feel
Like an insect
And I feel
You make me feel (And I feel)
You make me feel (And I feel)
Like an insect
Lost in your web
Caught in your trap
Like an insect

Excellent! It has been a long time since I was excited about new music. Now I have a treasure-trove of new artists to explore. This kind of music puts me in a happy, chilled-out, dream-state of mind... :)
